DC winters: cold, snow, sometimes blizzard, have to scrape your car free from ice if you don't have indoor parking.
SF winters: sometimes you have to put in a jacket and sometimes it rains. That's it.
This is just one example of many. It's pointless to compare two cities on rent and cost of living alone. Now, if the extra 11k is worth the winter challenges to you then I'm happy. Personally, I'm unable to imagine myself going back to east coast weather ever again.
